🪴The Best of the Summer Blooming Shrubs in the Backyard 🪴

Episode 755

Ken & Lisa Lain, the Top 10 Gardeners, here! We're diving into the best summer-blooming shrubs for your backyard.

Let’s start with Moscheutos Hibiscus, a robust cousin of the Rose of Sharon. Unlike its relative, Moscheutos resets underground each year, growing to hip height and width. It’s a tremendous grower, setting spectacular flowers from now through fall. Also known as the Confederate Rose, its Latin name is Hibiscus mutabilis. This shrub is a showstopper, perfect for adding a splash of color and unique charm to your garden.

Another standout is Caryopteris, also known as bluebeard or false spirea. This plant is not only beautiful but also a great pollinator attractor. If you're looking to bring bees and butterflies into your garden, Caryopteris is the way to go. It resembles Russian sage but is more shapely and less weedy, blooming just as well, if not better. Its vibrant blue flowers and aromatic foliage make it an excellent alternative to Russian sage.

Both Moscheutos Hibiscus and Caryopteris are in limited supply and available at garden centers now.

Enhance your garden with these summer beauties and enjoy a season full of color and life.
